TO PROTECT PosroFF1oE BOXES.
An Invention That win Prevent Fraudulent
Use of KeyS.

An Invention That win Prevent Fraudulent
Use of Keys.
Washington Special.
Mr.. Doremus, a clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment, has perfected an invention which prom
ises to be Of great value III large cities. Nearly
eli the postofice boxes in the country are now
supplied with the yale" locks. These locks
are never changed unless they are out of order.
Sometimes the same lessee will control the box
he may purchase twenty more KEYS. When
he at last relinqushes the box to another he
turns only two keys. the number originally furn-
shed to him by the postofice. The others may
get into the hands of dishonest men. and the
new lessee of the box has means of guarding
against depredstions upon his mails.
Mr.. Doremus's invention consists OF ''tumb-
Ter lock, so arranged that when open, all the
''tumblers" are in line. thousand
KEYS may be made to fit this lock, any OF
which will shoot the bolt. When once locked,
it can only be opened by inserting the original
key used to lock il. The act of locking sets the
tumblers in combination according TO the slots
In the key 1t is claimed for this invention that
10 900 locks may be made exactly alike. which
can be locked with any one of 10 600 different
keys, but that when once locked, they cannot be
opened from the outside except by using the
original key. On the other hand. if the holder
loses his key, the officials readily open the
box from the inside. and the act of opening will
give them the opportunity to supply another
lost one from using it for improper purposes.
The fact too. that the locks all alike will
make it possible to manufacture them at much
less cost than the Yale locks
